Fans of Julia Louis-Dreyfus want the Emmy-winning actress in good health, and Veep isn’t taking any chances. The HBO comedy will officially postpone filming on the seventh and final season until Louis-Dreyfus has had time to recover from chemotherapy for her breast cancer, thereby placing a premiere in 2019.

Entertainment Weekly confirmed as much with star Matt Walsh, who specified “We’ll start filming in August and it will air in 2019. We’ve known for about a month. We’ve seen [Julia], she’s done some table reads, she’s doing well, she’s finished her last chemo, she’s in recuperation.” Louis-Dreyfus first announced her breast cancer diagnosis over Twitter in September of last year, and executive producer Frank Rich confirmed in November that production would go on hiatus to accommodate her treatment.
